I have an GT-AX11000 Pro router at the "back end" of my home in the "office" and an XT8 as a AI Mesh station at the extreme front of my home in the front of the garage about 60 feet apart connected through Ethernet backhaul and they are working great.
What I don't understand is why I have a Wi-Fi device (Smart TV) connected in the office literally 4 feet from the router by WiFI that connects to the node in the garage 60 feet away. Same thing with a couple other devices like my Ecobee thermostat (10 feet from the router) and an irrigation sprinkler controller about 15 feet from the router.
When I try and force bind them to the AX11000 router, I get a "Wi-Fi signal **MAY** be too weak message.
Why would these devices even attempt to connect to the 60-foot away Mesh node vs. the 4 foot to 15 foot away AX11000?
Everything works fine, I just don't understand the "science" as to why this happens. Not sure why I got this router as I am not a "gamer" but I figured it would work better and further. 😀
